@Socar: If your game is good enough, you won't need to pay people to play it. And again, that is not the job of a Game Designer.

People keep saying the Xbox One doesn't have Backwards Compatibility.
I don't think they know what Backwards Compatibility means...

@DefHalan: I didn't say that I hate the job at all. I love it infact. I just hate using facebook because of it being annoying to use it.

And for the record, our games aren't that amazing right now so paid reviews sound reasonable to say the least.

Whatever the case, I need to get this experience long enough so that I can form my own company in the end and I can't do that right now because I have a long way to go.

After so long...I'm back. Don't ask why

I've always found them to be a good festival band, you know enough of their songs to sing along, have abit of a mosh, shout out Skater Boy to wind up the frontman and you didn't waste any money on seeing them specificlly.

Is it just me or have tween movies started getting good? Flicks like Hunger Games, Divergent and Maze Runner are actually watchable and good.

dd/mm/yyyy makes more sense than mm/dd/yyyy. Why would some cuntries use the latter? It's like saying hours/seconds/minutes whenever someone asks you the time.

And don't get me started with the Imperial Units...

It's just Americans trying to be difficult, like when they start spelling colour wrong or calling trousers pants.

@Freeon-Leon: But you say May 5th, not The 5th of May.
Though I will agree that Metric units are better than Imperial units.

Is this a US thing? In England we'd often say "5th of May".

At least 2'8".

Yes it is a US thing, both ways are fine, but after the next World War we will probably all be saying it the same way lol

The US military already uses dd/mm/yy.

You're looking at it wrong. If someone asks you the time, you say it's 8: 45. If you expand on that, you can either say it's 8:45 on May 3rd, or you could say it's May 3rd, 8:45. It's broken into individual units. You could say it's the 4th day of June, 2009, or that it's in the year of our Lord 2009, June 4th. But, again, if someone asks you the day, You'll usually say June 4th or the 4th of June.

To go a step further, you can state time as half past 6, or 23 minutes into the 11th hour. Besides, you can't very well insist that only dd/mm/yyyy is appropriate if you then state time as hh: mm: ss.

As for imperial units, it's been overwhelmingly my experience that favoring imperial is the unpopular opinion. But that fails to account for the origin and purpose of the two different scales:

Metric was devised by rationalists, seeking a platonic ideal (literally - the definitive kilogram is in a vault in France, if memory serves) founded on a base 10 measure. The base 10 is arbitrary, if popular. For westerners, it makes the math simple and intuitive.

Imperial was devised as a practical system, by people who had to get things done and done consistently. Imperial units are essentially on a base 3 system, and also usually divisible by 4. This is significant because it is far easier to eyeball something into quarters and thirds than it is to fifths (metric is readily divisible by 2 and 5).

So metric has the appeal and elegance of a self-referential system that was initially built in toto; imperial has the appeal of being designed to conform to human behavior.

1. I hate sparkling drinks (including Soda).
2. It must be legally required for people to say "Can I axe you a question?" as opposed to "Can I ask you a question?" like in Futurama. Also like in Futurama, Uranus should get it's name changed to Urectum.
3. Star Trek: Beyond is the best of the reboot Star Trek movies.
4. Of the 9 X-Men universe movies, only 3 of those movies are special in any sense of the word (also, X2 has aged horribly)

  • McDonalds and other fast food joints are generally fine companies. I'm so tired of people making snarky remarks about how unhealthy fast food restaurants are everytime they come up. Everyone already knows they aren't healthy, and you're not being special or smart by snarkily bringing it up (sorry for the rant, but my bro has become one of THOSE people).
  • the Walking Dead & Attack on Titan are both overrated (yes, I used the "O" word).

Currently Playing:
Switch - Blade Strangers
PS4 - Kingdom Hearts III, Tetris Effect (VR)

  • X-Men: The Last Stand wasn't that bad.
  • Nostalgia sometimes can be a bad thing, like people having a idealized, unrealistic version of the past in their minds and spouting the usual born in the wrong generation/this generation sucks/back in my time/kids nowadays do things we didn't, and that's why they suck nonsense.

This blue eye perceives all things conjoined. The past, the future, and the present. Everything flows and all is connected. This eye is not merely seen reality. It is touching the truth. Open the eye of truth... There is nothing to fear.
